Today
The Williamsport Area Community College serves over 20,000 people a
year through a diverse range of programs and courses. The College
offers:
*Fifty-seven programs leading to associate degrees or certificates in
vocational and technical fields and in the liberal arts and sciences.
•Vocational training for secondary students.
•Courses tailored to meet the needs of business and industry for
employee training.
*A broad range of avocational courses offered both on-campus and at
off-campus sites.
Backed by a tradition of excellence in technical education, the College
has gained a national reputation for the diversity and quality of its
occupational programs. Of the more than 4000 students a year enrolled
in associate degree and certificate programs, about 92 percent are in a
technical or occupational area
The College's programs are housed on five campuses: the central
campus in Williamsport, the Earth Science Center in
Allenwood/ Montgomery, the Aviation Center, adjacent to the Lycoming
County Airport in Montoursville, the Danville State Farm Laboratory, and
the North Campus, located near Wellsboro. Courses are also offered at
locations throughout the College's service area.
In 1985, the College broke ground for the new Advanced Technology
and Health Sciences Center. This building will expand our ability to
provide training in a "new generation" of technology — including fiber
optics, automated manufacturing, robotics and laser technology. Our
progress— in programming and campus development— reflects our
commitment to meeting the emerging needs of our students and the
region we serve.
The provisions of this catalog are not to be considered an irrevocable
contract between the student and the College. The Williamsport Area
Community College reserves the right to change any fees, requirements
and regulations at any time within the student's term of enrollment at the
College.
Students are responsible for meeting in full the requirements for
graduation set forth by the College. The student's advisor assists in the
planning of a program, but the final responsibility for meeting the
requirements for graduation rests with the student.
The Williamsport Area Community College does not discriminate on the
basis of age, sex, handicap, race, religion, creed, national origin, veteran
status or political affiliation. Student inquiries concerning Title VI, IX and

ADMISSION
Admission Policy
At The Williamsport Area Community College we are
committed to serving the educational needs of students
from all walks of life. The College operates under an
"open-door" admissions policy and is open to anyone
with a high school diploma or its equivalent. Anyone age
18 or older who does not have a high school diploma or
the equivalent may be admitted as a "special student."
Acceptance to several programs of study is based upon
the applicant's meeting the requirements (including
necessary academic skills and prerequisites) of the
specific program of study. The College reserves the r.ght
to deny admission or readmission to any student if, in
the opinion of College authorities, his/her admission is
not in the best interest of the student or the College.
The Williamsport Area Community College offers equal
opportunity for admission without regard to age, race,
color, creed, sex, national origin, handicap, or veteran
status.
The College will provide opportunities to develop the
basic skills necessary to enroll in associate degree and
certificate courses to those who demonstrate such needs
on the College's placement tests.

ADMISSION
Acceptance and Admission Preference
The Williamsport Area Community College will accept
students based on the date the applicant's file (i.e.,
application for admission, application fee,
transcripts/GED, and, when appropriate, testing
material) is completed in the Admissions Office, with the
exception that sponsor district applicants whose files are
complete by the dates below will have preference for
admission.
The College will grant preference for admission to
residents of sponsor districts until February 1 for the fall
semester and until October 1 for the spring semester.
Admission Procedure
All graduates of accredited secondary schools in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are eligible for
admission to the College as regular students. Admission
into a specific program is based upon evidence of
scholastic readiness for the program.
1. Application and Application Fee
All applicants to degree and certificate programs must
submit an "Application for Admission" form together
with a non-refundable application fee. This fee is
charged only once. The Director of Admissions, upon
written request from a counselor, state agency, etc.
has the authority to waive the fee when it can be
determined that the fee causes financial hardship to
an individual.
2. High School Graduation
a. High school students must submit a partial
transcript during their senior year. However, a final
transcript of high school credits or proof of graduation
from an approved or accredited high school with a
four-year course of study must be on file before a
student can attend classes.
b. High school graduates must submit a final transcript
of high school credits or proof of graduation from an
approved or accredited high school with a four-year
course of study.
c. Applicants age 18 or older may be admitted to the
College on the basis of an equivalency diploma,
provided that the applicant has earned a minimum
General Equivalency Diploma (GED) test score average
©
of 45. Under special circumstances, applicants 17
years of age may be considered for admission with a
minimum GED test score average of 45.
d. Anyone age 18 or older who has not met the
requirements of sections a., b., or c. above may be
considered for admission into a program as a "special
student" provided he/she has the appropriate
aptitudes and abilities to enter the College.
e. Early Admission: a student of exceptional ability
who has completed the eleventh grade in an
accredited high school may enroll at the College as a
full-time or part-time student in either a degree or
certificate program during what would normally be the
senior year of high school. For a student to qualify for
early admission, the chief administrative officer of the
student's high school must approve and submit the
"Admissions Application" together with an official
high school transcript, to the College Admissions
Office. The Admissions Office will determine whether
the student is eligible for the specific degree or
certificate program desired. Upon satisfactory
completion of the first year in a full-time college
program, an early admission student can qualify for a
regular high school diploma.
3. Placement Examinations
To insure that applicants have the entry-level skills
needed for their programs, all students are required to
take the College's placement examinations. The
College uses these examinations to assess applicants'
skills in math, English and reading. Based on the
results of their tests, students will be placed in the
appropriate math, English, and reading courses. The
College reserves the right to recommend another
program or require developmental courses if the test
results indicate that an applicant does not have the
required academic entry skills. Applicants who have
demonstrated academic proficiency through either
previous college course work or College Boards (SAT
or ACT) may be exempt from testing.
4. Health Records Requirement
A student who may need special accommodations due
to a physical or mental disability/ handicap must
submit his/her medical history on a health record
card. (Health record cards are available from the
College's Admissions Office.) The health card should
be submitted well in advance of the term in which the
student plans to enroll to allow the College to prepare
for any special needs. The card must be received
before the student can begin classes. A disability or
ADMISSION
handicap will not be used to deny a person admission
to the College.
5. Tuition Deposit and Tuition Payment
All full-time applicants who have been accepted as
degree-seeking or certificate-seeking students must
submit a $100 tuition deposit. The tuition deposit will
be credited to the student's tuition for the first
semester. If the student does not enroll and notifies
the College by the pre-determined deadline, the
College will refund 80 percent of the tuition deposit.
The tuition deposit will hold a space in class until the
announced deadline. Students who have not met their
total financial obligations for the semester by the
deadline will forfeit their class space. As a result
someone from the College's waiting list may take their
space in the program.
6. Additional Requirements
In addition to the College's general admission policies
and requirements, applicants to the Aviation
Maintenance Technician, Aviation Technology, Dental
Hygiene, Mathematical Computer Science, Surgical
Technology, Practical Nursing, and Radiography
programs must also meet the following requirements:
a. All applicants must have graduated from an
accredited secondary school or have successfully
completed the General Equivalency Diploma
Examination (GED).
b. All applicants must successfully complete the
College's placement tests. All deficiencies, when
identified through testing, must be made up by the
designated time.
c. All qualified applicants (except for applicants to the
aviation programs) must discuss their career choice
and their expectations of the program during an
interview. A hospital observation is required for
applicants to the Radiography program.
d. Practical Nursing applicants must take additional
standardized tests. Dental Hygiene and Practical
Nursing applicants are required to take the S.A.T.
tests. Test results will be used by the College in
determining final acceptance to these programs.
e. Dental Hygiene and Practical Nursing students must
complete the required physical examination forms
prior to the first day of classes. Accepted Dental
Hygiene and Practical Nursing students must be in
good health to begin classes.
Admission of International Students
The Williamsport Area Community College believes that
the presence of international students on campus will
enrich the educational environment for all students. The
College is authorized under Federal law to enroll non-
immigrant alien students on "F-l" student visas. An
"Application for Admission" and all supporting
documents must be received in the Admissions Office at
least two weeks prior to the day of late registration for
the term in which the student plans to enroll.
All transcripts, test scores, and other credentials become
the property of the College and will not be returned or
transferred to another institution.
In addition to the College's general admission
requirements, international students must fulfill the
following requirements:
LAN international students whose native language is not
English are required to take the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL).
2. Applicants must submit an affidavit of support for
themselves and for all members of their family who
will accompany them to Williamsport. The affidavit
certifies that the applicant has adequate funds to
attend college and will not become a public charge.
Failure to provide this information may result in the
denial of the applicant's application for an "F-l"
student visa.
©
ADMISSION
3. All international students who are accepted must take
the College's placement tests. Placement into the
appropriate level of courses will be determined by the
tests. International students must arrange to be on
campus approximately one week prior to registration
for the term in which they are enrolling. Failure to
complete placement tests may result in denial of
acceptance into programs.
4. International students must become familiar with the
regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization
Service and assume responsibility for complying with
test regulations.
Reenrollment
Former students who wish to reenroll must apply for
readmission through the Admissions Office. They do not
have to submit an application fee. They may be required
to submit a health records card. (See Health Records
Requirement on page 4.)
1. A student who:
a. reenrolls in the same program in which he/she was
last enrolled, and
b. reenrolls less than two years after he/she last
attended the College,
may be required to meet graduation requirements in
effect at the time the student was originally enrolled.
2. A student who:
a. reenrolls in the same program in which he/she was
last enrolled, and
b. reenrolls two or more years after he/she last
attended the College,
rrrustmeet current graduation requirements. All course
work previously completed will be reviewed on a
course by course basis to determine whether it meets
current graduation requirements. All courses
completed will remain on the student's transcript.
Only credits for courses which meet the current
program requirements will be used in calculating the
student's cumulative grade point average.
3. If a student reenrolls in a program different from the
one in which he/she was last enrolled, each course
previously taken will be evaluated to determine
whether it meets the requirements of the new
program. Only credits for courses which meet the
requirements of the current program will be used in
©
calculating the student's cumulative grade point
average. However, all courses completed will remain
on the student's transcript. Students reenrolling in a
new program are required to meet the graduation
requirements for the new program in effect at the time
they reenroll.
Special circumstances may be appealed to the Dean
of Academic Affairs or his/her designee, who may
waive the conditions given above.
Change of Program
A change of program may be made at the beginning of
any semester. Currently enrolled students who wish to
change from one program of study to another must
follow the steps below:
1. Complete an "Admissions Application" and submit it
to the Admissions Office. Acceptance into the new
program will be based on sponsorship status and on
the date the applicant's file is complete in the
Admissions Office.
2. Complete a "Curriculum Change" form; obtain all
required signatures (advisor, counseling, division
director, financial aid, admissions). Submit the form to
the Student Records Office.
When a student changes his/her program, all credits
earned in the prior program will be evaluated for transfer
to the new program. All prior course work will appear on
the student's transcript. Only courses applicable to the
new program will be used to calculate the student's new
cumulative grade point average.
Transfer Students
Students from other colleges who wish to transfer to
The Williamsport Area Community College must follow
the procedure below:
1. Complete steps listed under Admission Procedure,
(see page 4) with the exception of "High School

through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
A maximum of 30 transfer credits may be applied toward
a degree or certificate. Courses to be considered for
transfer must have been completed with a grade of "C"
or better. However, if a student earns a cumulative "C"
average or better in sequential courses (for example,
English 1 and English 2) an exception may be made
based on the evaluation of the courses. Courses taken
more than two years before the student enrolls at The

equivalent to courses currently required in the student's
program. A copy of the evaluation of transfer credit will
be sent to the student.
All transfer credit will appear on the student's transcript
after the student successfully completes one semester of
academic work at The Williamsport Area Community
College. Transfer credit will appear on the transcript with
credit value only. Transfer students will enroll without
any cumulative grade point average. A student must be
enrolled in courses at The Williamsport Area Community
College for at least the last 12 credit hours of his/her
program. Requirements for the evaluation of different
forms of transfer credit are listed below.

TUITION AND FEES
TUITION AND FEES
Full-Time Students
State regulations define a full-time student as anyone
enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per semester.
However, tuition and related fees are based solely on the
number of credits for which you are enrolled, as
described below.
Application Fee
Applicants for status as full-time students in degree or
certificate programs must include a non-refundable $15
application fee with their "Admission Application." You
are required to pay this non-refundable fee only once.
Tuition Deposit
All applicants who have been accepted as full-time
degree or certificate students must pay a $100 tuition
deposit to hold a class reservation in the first semester
for which they have applied.
If you enroll at the designated time, the deposit will be
credited to your tuition for the first semester. If you do

Tuition and Related Fees- 1985-86*
Tuition and related fees are governed by your area of
residence and are based on a per credit hour charge. To

the number of credits for which you are enrolled by the
total per credit charge under the appropriate residence
category. The four categories of residence and the

Deferred Payment
The College shall not knowingly accept a partial
payment from any student except as required for tuition
deposits, financial aid plans, or within the guidelines
established by the Board of Trustees' policy for deferred
fee status (given below).
Any student whose fee is in arrears after the first day of
classes shall be subject to a $20 deferred processing fee.
®
TUITION AND FEES
Students who are unable to pay tuition and fees in full
by the due date, may make a partial payment as
determined by the College and pay the remaining portion
in two equal installments at 30-day intervals following
the beginning of the semester. A $20 processing fee will
be charged for this installment plan. Nullification or
adjustment of financial aid awards shall not alter the
student's obligation to complete installment payments to
the College.
Students who fail to meet their financial obligations
under this plan shall be administratively withdrawn.
Such termination will not cancel the student's financial
obligation to the College. Students participating in an
installment plan will have their grades and transcripts
held until their accounts are settled.
Books and Supplies
Expenses for books and supplies will vary considerably
from program to program. The College tries to keep
expenses as low as possible by operating the College
Bookstore on a low-cost basis. For full-time students the
cost for books and supplies can be as high as $300 per
semester.
Tools
When you have been accepted in a particular program,
the Admissions Office will provide you with a list of
required tools. We recommend that you do not buy any
tools or protective clothing for any course before
attending the first class. Tool costs vary greatly,
depending on your program. Prospective students
should contact the Admissions Office for a list of
estimated tool costs for each program. The tools will be
your personal property. In many cases, students will use
these tools throughout their careers.
Transcripts
The student's grade report is an unofficial transcript
(identical to the official transcript but without the official
seal) which shows all course work completed by the
student. Students may use their grade report when an
unofficial transcript is needed. Official transcripts are
only those transcripts sent to another institution,
agency, or employer.
Students will be charged $1.00 for each additional
transcript. All requests for additional transcripts must be
®
submitted in writing to the Student Records Office. The

FINANCIAL AID
Recognizing that the cost of education is often greater
than the student and his/her family can afford without
help, the Financial Aid Office helps students obtain
financial assistance through a variety of aid programs:
Grants
Scholarships
Loans
College Work-Study Program
Veteran's Benefits
Vocational Rehabilitation Sponsorship
Part-Time Employment
Every student is encouraged to thoroughly explore each
of the above programs, and to contact the Financial Aid
Office for assistance in obtaining and completing
applications for aid.
Employment
Students interested in part-time employment other than
the College Work-Study program should contact the
Advisement and Career Services Center for further
information.
Special Attention
Deadlines
Students who want the fullest consideration for all
awards should have all needed application materials
complete and on file in the Financial Aid Office as soon
as possible. For the 1986-87 year, for example,
completed applications for some forms of aid should be
filed by March 1, 1986. Applications received after this
date will be processed and students filing late will be
considered for aid, but only after other applications
received by the deadline have been reviewed and awards
made.
An exception to the above deadline is made for the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Loan applications
may be submitted at any time during the year, but
should be filed early enough to allow for the six to eight
week processing time prior to loan approval and release
of funds to the applicant.
Need Analysis Forms
To determine a student's financial eligibility for awards,
especially Supplemental Grants and College Work-Study
awards, a review of the family financial situation must
be completed.
®
FINANCIAL AID
The College uses the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency system for need analysis purposes.
These forms can be obtained from the College's
Financial Aid Office, high schools and the state agency.
Policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress
This policy applies to all students receiving financial aid
from federal or state student assistance programs:
Federal Programs ( Pell/ SEOG/ College Work
Study/ Guaranteed Student Loan/ Plus Loan):
A full-time student who receives aid from the Pell,
SEOG, or College Work Study programs must make
satisfactory academic progress in order to continue to be
eligible for aid. Students shall be considered to be
making satisfactory progress if, based on academic
achievement, the College allows them to continue their
enrollment, provided that they successfully complete at
least 24 credits by the end of the first academic year.
Students whose cumulative grade point average falls
below 2.00 will be placed on academic probation, and a
decision on their continued enrollment will be made by
the Probation Committee. Students on academic
probation may continue to receive financial aid, provided
they successfully complete at least 24 credits by the end
of the first academic year.
After receiving aid for the fourth semester of a two-year
program or the second semester of a one-year program
the student will not be eligible for additional aid until
after graduation from the program. In addition, any
student who changes programs two or more times will
be determined ineligible pending further review.
Any part-time student who receives aid and who fails,
withdraws from, or receives an incomplete in two or
more courses in which he/she was enrolled during an
academic year (or the equivalent) shall be ineligible for
further aid until he/she completes courses equivalent in
credits to the number which were not successfully
completed.
Credits earned through advanced placement or life
experience and external transfer credits may be used to
meet graduation requirements, but may not be included
in the number needed for satisfactory progress for
financial aid purposes.
©
Students determined to be ineligible for additional aid
may appeal this determination by writing to the Director
of Financial Aid or his/her designee, stating the basis for
appeal. Exceptions may be made based on extenuating
circumstances including, but not limited to, documented
illness, change of program, or the required completion
of Developmental Studies courses. The Director or
designee will inform the student in writing of the
decision, specifying the duration of time or other
conditions under which an exception has been made, or
explaining the reason for denying the appeal and
detailing the actions necessary for the student to regain
eligibility. A student may request a review of the
decision in a meeting of the student, Director of
Financial Aid and the Dean of Student Services.
State Program (PHEAA):
PHEAA regulations require that for each year of a
PHEAA grant, a student must successfully complete 24
credits, otherwise the student will be ineligible to receive
additional grants. Appeals must be made directly to
PHEAA. This policy is subject to revision by PHEAA.
Amnesty (For Federal Programs)
For returning students who have not been enrolled
during the past five years, prior academic performance
will not be considered when satisfactory academic
progress is measured.

TECHNOLOGY STUDIES (TS)
Associate Degree
Technology Studies is a flexible program — designed
especially for, but not limited to — people currently employed
in industry or business. Course selection is based almost
entirely upon the goals of the individual student. As many as
30 credits may be awarded through advanced placement,
credit by examination, or credit for work/life experience, thus
reducing the number of courses to be completed on campus.
Most students will complete this program on a part-time basis;
therefore, a number of specialized courses will be offered in a
rotating sequence to provide increased scheduling
opportunities.
The minimum requirements for the Associate Degree in
Technology Studies are:
1. Successfully complete a minimum of 60 credit hours of

Pre-Medical Emphasis
The Pre-Medical Emphasis offers preparation for careers in
medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, veterinary
medicine, chiropractic, other health professions, and scientific
research. The program also meets the needs of students
interested in fields like chemistry, physics and biology.
Because of the rigorous and time-consuming nature of the
medical programs — which include much training in clinical
laboratories and patient-related experiences — students should
have aptitudes in mathematics and science. Laboratory
experience and manual dexterity are also important.

INDIVIDUAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Individual Studies is the most flexible program offered by the
College. It is designed for the student who wants to explore a
number of careers — people interested in personal enrichment
— someone who wants to prepare for a very specialized career
— anyone whose educational goals are not met by the
College's other programs. Cooperative education options are
available to students enrolled in Individual Studies.

...TRANSFER PROGRAMS
CURRICULUM POSSIBILITIES
Students in Individual Studies select courses based almost
entirely on their goals. Advisors work with students in
designing programs and selecting the courses which will best
meet their needs. It may take longer than two years to
complete courses desired because of scheduling conflicts. This
is particularly true for students who schedule laboratory or
shop courses which require large blocks of time.
AN EXAMPLE OF A PLANNED INDIVIDUAL STUDIES
PROGRAM
A person may wish to enroll in the Individual Studies program
to prepare for a particular occupational specialty. For example,
someone who enjoys flower arranging and cooking might want
to prepare to own and run a catering business. Courses could
be selected from Food and Hospitality Management,
Floriculture, Business, and related areas. One possible
selection of 64 credits of course work follows:
Food and Hospitality Management
Quantity Food Preparation
Menu Planning &• Cost Control
Purchasing, Storage & Sanitation
Hospitality Merchandising
Equipment &• Layouts
Personnel Management, Work Simplification
Floriculture
Floral Design I
Floral Design II
Flower Shop Operation
Business
Principles of Business
Business Communications
Accounting I
Accounting II
Small Business Management

Another student with this same career goal might choose to
emphasize another area depending on interest and prior
experience. For example, someone who had prepared food for
many large parties in their own home might feel quite
competent in the food aree and wish to emphasize business
courses. The exact combination of courses in the individual
studies program is decided entirely by the individual, with the
help of an advisor.

Non-Degree: A non-degree student is one who is not
enrolled in a degree or certificate program. Non-degree
students can select courses without regard to degree or
certificate requirements. Non-degree students are not
eligible for financial aid. They are permitted to schedule
classes on a first-come, first-served basis (after currently
enrolled students have been given the opportunity to
schedule classes). Non-degree students must complete
an "Admissions Application" form the first time they
schedule classes, but are not required to pay the
application fee.
Special Student: A handicapped student who cannot
meet some of the requirements in certain shop programs
is awarded a special certificate. It is not awarded to a
student who may have failed to meet the requirements
of a certificate program. Students must notify the
College - PRIOR TO BEGINNING A PROGRAM - if
they want to complete only part of the program and
earn a special certificate. Exceptions will be made only
for a student who becomes handicapped while enrolled
in a certificate program.
Students age 18 or older who do not have a high school
diploma or the equivalent may also be classified as
"special students."
Satisfactory Progress: As long as a postsecondary
student is officially enrolled and officially permitted to
continue his/her studies toward a degree or certificate at
the College, the student will be considered to be making
satisfactory progress. Students receiving financial aid
must meet additional criteria as explained in the
Financial Aid section of this catalog (page 11) in order to
continue to be eligible to receive financial aid.
Scheduling/ Registration
Because the number of students who can register for
any class is limited, all students should schedule classes
during the announced scheduling period. The College
strongly urges all students to complete their registration,
including payment of all fees, before the announced day
of Late Registration for each semester. On the day of
Late Registration students may schedule classes on a
first-come/first-served basis. The College does not
guarantee any student the right to register after Late
Registration day.
Credit Load
The academic year is divided into two semesters of
approximately 16 weeks each. The normal full-time load
per semester is 12 to 18 credit-hours. Students should
allow an average of at least two hours preparation for
each credit-hour of course work.
There are two sessions of varying length offered during
the summer (May-August). For purposes of enrollment
verification a student is considered to be enrolled full-
time during the summer if his/her credit load totals 12 or
more credits during both summer sessions.
Academic Overload
An academic/credit overload occurs when a student
enrolls for more than 18 credits per semester (except for
students in programs which require more than 18 credits
per semester). In a summer session, an academic
overload occurs when a student enrolls in more than 6
credits at the same time.
Students who want to schedule a credit overload must
obtain permission from the Division Director of the
program in which they are enrolled.
A student must have earned a 3.00 cumulative grade
point average or a 3.00 average the previous semester in
order to qualify to schedule a credit overload. Exceptions
must be approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs or
his/her designee.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Change of Course
After the official registration period is over, the student
may make adjustments in his/her schedule through the
process of adding and/or dropping courses.
Dropping a Course: A student may drop a credit
course during the first three weeks — or the first 20
percent of instruction — of the term by having his/her
advisor complete the appropriate section of a "Student
Status Change" form. The instructor of the course being
dropped and the advisor must sign the form. The course
will not appear on the student's academic record. After
the third week (or equivalent) the student must
withdraw from the course. (See Terminations,
Withdrawals and Refunds, page 126.)
Adding a Course: A student may add a course only
during the first week of classes (two days in Summer
Term) by having his/her advisor complete and sign the
appropriate portion of a "Student Status Change" form.
The approval of the appropriate Division Director and
the Associate Dean must be obtained if a course is
added after the first week of classes.
Developmental courses and any related course work
required may be dropped or added until the end of the
third week of classes.
The Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee may
make exceptions in special circumstances.
Change of Program
A change of program may be made at the beginning of
any semester. Currently enrolled students who wish to
change from one program of study to another must
follow the steps below.
1. Complete an "Admission Application" and submit it to
the Admissions Office. Acceptance into the new
program will be based on sponsorship status and on
the date the applicant's file is complete in the
Admissions Office.
2. Complete a "Curriculum/Program Change" form and
obtain all required signatures. Submit the form to the
Student Records Office.
@
When a student changes his/her program, all credits
earned in the prior program will be evaluated for transfer
to the new program. All courses will appear on the
student's transcript. Only courses applicable to the new
program will be used to calculate the student's new
cumulative grade point average.
Repeating a "D" or "F" Course
Students may repeat a course in which they earned a
grade of "D" or "F." However, they must improve the
grade of the repeated course to affect their cumulative
grade point average. If the student repeats the course at
The Williamsport Area Community College and improves
his/her grade, both grades will appear on the permanent
record card with the higher grade used in calculating the
cumulative grade point average. If the student repeats
the equivalent course at another institution and transfers
the course to the College (subject to Transfer Policy, see
page 7), the original grade remains on the transcript but
is not included in the semester or cumulative average.
(The credits for the transferred course will not be used
in calculating the student's cumulative grade point
average.) If the student repeats a course and earns a
second "D" or "F", the second grade and credits will
not be used in calculating the cumulative grade point
average.
Auditing a Course
Auditors are not required to prepare lessons or papers or
take examinations, nor do they receive credit for the
course. Students are charged full tuition for courses
taken on an audit basis.
With the consent of the instructor and the Dean of
Academic Affairs, a student may enroll as an auditor in
any course.
Students must inform the Student Records Office that a
course is being taken on an audit basis when they
schedule. A student may not change from credit to audit
status or from audit to credit status after the beginning
of the semester.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Grading System
The College uses the following system of grading (4.00
basis) to indicate the quality of a student's work:

An instructor may assign an "I", Incomplete, grade to
give a student additional time to complete required
course work if the student has missed an exceptional
number of classes due to accident, illness or other
extenuating circumstances. An Incomplete will not be
used to extend the time a student has to complete class
requirements beyond the normal allotted time.
If a student is awarded a letter grade of "I", the
instructor will submit an incomplete grade form with the
student's grade roster. The form describes the work
which must be completed and gives a deadline for
completing the work. The deadline date will be before
the end of the following semester. Copies of the
incomplete grade form will be sent to the student and
his/her advisor. A permanent "F" will be recorded if the
work is not completed prior to the end of the following
semester.
"SP", Satisfactory Progress, is used for certain students
in Developmental Studies courses. "SP", Satisfactory
Progress, will be awarded if students do not complete all
course requirements but do meet the requirements for
"SP" as established in the syllabus for a particular
developmental course. Students earning an "SP" will re-
enroll in the same course. Upon mastery of all course
objectives, the student will earn a traditional letter grade
(in the semester in which the course requirements were
met).
Grade Reports
At the midpoint of each fall and spring semester course
a grade of "P" (Passing), "D" (Deficient), or "F"
(Failing) is reported for each student officially registered
in each course. Each grade is advisory only, indicating
the quality of work up to that point in the semester.
Mid-term advisory grades do not become part of the
student's permanent record. Final semester grades will
be mailed after the end of the semester or summer
session. The grade report will show all course work
completed to date by the student. Students should
check the cumulative grade report for accuracy and to
be certain they are meeting graduation requirements. To
protect the confidentiality of the student's record and in
compliance with federal law, no grades will be given over
the phone.
Since the grade report is also an unofficial copy of their
transcript, students may use their grade report when an
unofficial transcript is required. (For information on
obtaining official transcripts, see page 10).
Cumulative Grade Point Average
A student's cumulative grade point average is computed
by dividing the number of grade points by the total
number of credits for which the student has earned a
grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF. No other grades in the
College's grading system are used in the calculation.
The cumulative grade point average includes: 1) Credit
for Williamsport Area Community College courses
completed by a student currently enrolled in a degree or
certificate program; 2) Credit for Williamsport Area
Community College courses previously completed by a
student who reenrolls in the same program when such
credits are appropriate for the new program; 3) Credit
for Williamsport Area Community College courses
previously completed by a student who reenrolls in a
different program when such courses are appropriate for
the new program; 4) Credit for Williamsport Area
Community College courses previously completed by a
student who changes to a different program when such
credits are appropriate for the new program; 5) Credit
earned through cross-registration with Lycoming
College.
The cumulative grade point average does not include
credits from the following: 1) CLEP exams; 2) Advanced
Placement; 3) Credit by Exam; 4) Credit for Work/ Life
Experience; 5) U.S. Armed Forces Institute Credit and
Service Credit; 6) Credit transferred to The Williamsport
Area Community College from another institution; 7)
Credits previously earned by a student who changes to a
different Williamsport Area Community College program
or who reenrolls in a program when such credit does not
meet the current requirements for the new program; 8)
Credits for courses in which the student earned a "D" or
"F" if the student repeats the course. If the student
121
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
repeats the course at The Williamsport Area Community
College and earns a higher grade, the higher grade will
be used in calculating the cumulative grade point
average. If the student repeats the equivalent course at
another institution and transfers the course to The
Williamsport Area Community College, the original grade
remains on the transcript but is not included in the
cumulative average. (The grade for the transferred
course is not included in the cumulative grade point
average.)
Withholding Grades
A student's grades and records will not be released if
the student has any outstanding loans or fines (for
example, parking fines or library fines) at the College or
if the student has outstanding obligations to the College
for the return/ replacement of items such as books, tools
or equipment. When a hold is placed on a student's
grades, the student will be notified in writing of the hold
and of the action needed to release his/her grades or
records.
Advanced Placement Credit
The Williamsport Area Community College believes that
placing students at the proper educational level will
contribute to the student's success in College.
Advanced placement is designed to give students credit
for the skills or competencies they have acquired prior to
entering College. Students who have completed
advanced courses in high school or an area vocational
technical school program, as part of military training,
and those with prior educational experiences may be
eligible for advanced placement. We recommend that
applications for advanced placement be submitted by
March 15 for students who plan to enroll in the fall
semester, by November 15 for students who plan to
enroll in the spring semester, and by April 15 for
students who plan to enroll in the summer semester.
Students from area vocational technical schools with
which the College has Task Level Articulation
Agreements can obtain advanced placement on the
basis of an instructor-verified list of competencies. Such
students must also take the College's reading, English
and math placement tests as early as possible so that
they can take developmental courses, if needed, in the
summer before they begin their regular program.
New students will receive a schedule of advanced
placement test offerings showing the date and times
when tests will be given. The student should indicate
which test(s) he/she wishes to take and return the form
to the appropriate Division office.
A copy of the evaluation of the advanced placement test
or other assessment will be sent to the student. A fee of
$25 per course will be charged when credit from
advanced placement testing is entered on the
transcript.* Credit earned through advanced placement
will be shown on the student's transcript after the fee is
paid and the student has successfully completed one
semester at the College. Up to a maximum of 30 credits
may be granted through non-traditional credit evaluation
(advanced placement, credit by exam, and work/ life
experience). Advanced placement credit is not used in
calculating the student's cumulative grade point average.
Only the course number, title, and number of credits will
be entered on the transcript. No letter grades will be
shown.
*The $25 fee will not be charged secondary students
assessed externally and for certain developmental
courses which are exempt.
Credit By Exam
Students may apply to take any College course by
examination. In order to challenge a course by
examination, a student must have completed at least 12
credits at The Williamsport Area Community College and
have earned a grade point average of 2.00. Application
to take a course by examination must be made in writing
to the appropriate Division Director. Approval must then
be given by the instructor(s) of the course involved and
@
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
the Division Director. Students who decide to challenge
a course after enrolling in it must arrange for testing to
take place prior to the third week of instruction (or the
equivalent).
If approval is granted, a fee of $25 must be paid at the
Bursar's Office prior to each examination. No
examination will be prepared or administered until the
student presents the $25 receipt. The examination fee
will be waived for students seeking credit for ENL 111
(English Composition I) or RDG 111 (College Reading,
Reasoning and Study Skills) as a result of outstanding
performance in the respective developmental
counterpart, i.e., ENL 011 (Basic English) or RDG 010
(Reading Improvement).
The examination is prepared, administered (at the time
set by the Division Director), and evaluated by the
instructor(s) of the course. A copy of the result of the
examination will be sent to the student. When a student
passes the examination for the course, the course
number, title, and number of credits only will be entered
on the student's transcript. (No letter grades will be
listed on the transcript.) A maximum of 30 credits may
be earned through non-traditional credit evaluation (work
and/ or life experience, advanced placement, credit by
exam). Credit by exam may npt be used to remove a D,
F, or WF grade. An examination in a specific subject
may be taken only once. All exceptions to the above
requirements must be approved by the Dean of
Academic Affairs or his/her designee.
Credit for Work and/or Life Experience
The College recognizes that many individuals acquire
rich academic and technical experiences through
working and/or living in a particular situation. Students
who have been accepted to the College and who feel
their work or living experiences warrant consideration for
academic credit should apply in writing to the Division
Director responsible for the course(s) involved. The
application must include evidence and rationale for
granting credit.
The Division Director will appoint a committee to assess
the candidate's educational and work background. The
student will be asked to document his/her work and life
experiences and to show that the experiences are equal
to a course(s) offered at the College. The committee will
also interview the student. The committee will
recommend the number of credits to be awarded. A fee
of $25 per course will be charged for the evaluation of
credit.
A copy of the evaluation of work and/or life experience
will be sent to the student. Credit earned through
work/ life experience will be shown on the student's
transcript after he/she earns 12 credits at the College.
Credit for work/ life experience will not be used in
calculating the student's cumulative grade point average.
No letter grade will be listed on the student's transcript.
Up to a maximum of 30 credits may be earned through
non-traditional credit evaluation (work and/or life
experience, advanced placement, credit by exam). All
exceptions to the above requirements must be approved
by the Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education (co-op) offers students the
opportunity to participate in supervised periods of
relevant and meaningful employment. While on co-op
assignment, students work as regular employees of the
co-op employer, receive vocational counseling, and earn
academic credit for knowledge and/or skills acquired
from their work experience. Co-op may be used to
replace or supplement required courses in most
programs.
The following options are available to qualified students
in most programs:
1. Alternating Plan: Students rotate periods of full-time
work and full-time on-campus study.
2. Parallel Plan: Students work part time and attend
regular classes during the same semester or summer
session.
3. Summer Plan: Students work full time during a
summer session followed by a parallel plan co-op
during the following semesters.
4. Career Advancement Plan: Students attend college on
a part-time basis while working either full or part time
at their regular (not a "co-op") job. Designed for
employed students.
5. APCO Plan (Advance Placement with the Co-op
Option): Students who have completed a related vo-
tech program receive advanced placement and are
encouraged to participate in part or full-time co-op
while attending college.
Variations of the above options are possible, depending
upon job and College requirements. Co-op placements
can range from eight weeks to a full semester or
summer of 15-16 weeks.
123
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
In order to participate in Cooperative Education, a
student must have successfully completed a minimum of
one full semester (12 credits) or its equivalent and must
maintain a cumulative average of 2.00 or better. (A 2.50
average in courses related to the student's program is
recommended.)
The Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her designee may
waive these requirements in the following situations:
1 . If the College determines that the student has
acquired competencies — through previous training
and/ or experience — which are equivalent to those
provided during one full semester of instruction at the
College.
2. When the student's cumulative average falls below the
level required and/or recommended due to special
circumstances.
A student who is unable to meet and maintain either the
behavioral or performance standards established for co-
op employment may, with just cause, be withdrawn
from co-op employment by either the employer or the
College.
A student may withdraw or be withdrawn from co-op
employment without penalty if — for any well-founded
reason — the work site is deemed to be unsafe or if the
level of work assigned does not meet the learning
objectives established by the student and the College.
Employer Participation
Employers who can provide full-time or part-time
positions which meet the following qualifications are
encouraged to participate in the co-op program:
1. The job must provide educational experiences in an
area directly related to the student's course of study
or career goals.
2. The job must provide learning experiences that will be
meaningful and challenging for the student.
3. The job should be relatively secure in order to provide
at least one or more full co-op work terms.
4. The employer will cooperate with the College and the
student in developing specific learning objectives for
each work period.
®
5. The employer will enter into a training agreement with
the College and the student.
6. At the end of the work experience, the employer
agrees to evaluate the student's performance and
progress toward meeting specific learning objectives.
Specific information can be obtained directly from the
student's academic division or by contacting:

of graduation. Students participating in cross-registration
will be responsible for paying any special laboratory fees
or charges required for the course. Grades earned
through participation in cross-registration will be
recorded on the student's Williamsport Area Community
College transcript. Courses completed with a passing
grade ("D" or better) will be credited toward graduation.
Grades earned in courses taken at Lycoming College will
be included in the student's semester and cumulative
average. Students who cross-register are responsible for
complying with the academic calendar of the institution
offering the course(s) they take. Cross-registration
students should inform their advisors of any difficulties
with, or plans to drop Lycoming College courses.
Students may obtain additional information on cross-
registration procedures from their advisors or the
Student Records Office. All exceptions to the above
requirements must be approved by the Dean of
Academic Affairs or his/her designee.
Graduation Requirements
All entering students must exhibit competencies in the
basic skills (reading, computation, and written
expression) necessary for success in their programs.
Students who have not demonstrated these
competencies on the college placement tests are

of Academic Affairs or his/her designee be permitted to
take up to six semester credit hours from another
accredited college/institution to fulfill requirements for a
degree or certificate from The Williamsport Area
Community College. Such work must be completed
within two years after the last semester in which the
student attended classes at The Williamsport Area
Community College. After two years, the student must
reenroll at The Williamsport Area Community College
(See Reenrollment and Transfer Credit, pages 6 and 7.)
Only grades of "C" or better are acceptable for such
transfer credit. (Grades for transfer credits are not
included in the student's cumulative grade point
average.)
All exceptions to graduation requirements must be
approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her
designee.
Petition to Graduate: In order to graduate a student
must report to the Student Records Office and complete
a "Petition for Graduation" form during the first five
weeks of classes of the semester in which the student
intends to graduate. If this form is not submitted, the
student's name will not appear on the Graduation
Program. In addition, the student's final transcript will
state that the student is a "non-returning" student, rather
than a graduate.
Students who meet graduation requirements in the
summer will graduate at the end of the second summer
session.
Graduation Fees
Any students who wish to receive an engraved diploma
or certificate when they graduate must pay a $5.00 fee
when they petition to graduate. If a student orders a
diploma or certificate after the advertised date for
ordering a diploma (i.e., two months prior to the date of
graduation), the student must pay a special processing
fee of $10.00.
If a graduating student does not wish to receive an
engraved certificate or diploma, he/she will not be
charged the graduation fee but must still file a petition.
The Dean's Honor List
The honor list is announced by the Dean at the
completion of each semester. The list will include only
those full-time students who have a semester grade
point average of 3.50 or better.
Terminations, Withdrawals and Refunds
Student Termination From College
If a student finds it necessary to terminate his/her
enrollment at the College for any reason, the student
must:
1. Officially withdraw from each course by completing
the "Student Status Change" form.
2. If the student is also applying for a refund, the
"Request for Refund" form must be filled out and
submitted with the "Student Status Change" form.
3. Satisfactorily account for all property issued by the
College.
4. Settle all outstanding College obligations.
Students who do not officially terminate from the
College in the manner described above will receive the
grade of "F" or "WF" in all courses.
College Termination
The College reserves the right to terminate enrollment of
any student or to withhold the degree of any student, if,
in the opinion of College authorities, his/her further
126)
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
association is not in the best interests of the student or
the College. Specific situations in which the College may
terminate a student include, but are not limited to:
1. Failure to meet financial obligations.
2. Failure to meet requirements or to complete objectives
in a given program and/or course.
3. Failure to demonstrate safe practices.
Recommended procedures for appealing questions on
academic evaluation are given in the Student Handbook.
Withdrawal/Termination From A Course
Student Withdrawal — After the official drop/add
period for the term (the end of the third week or 20
percent of instruction) until the end of the tenth week,
or equivalent, for each term, a student may withdraw
from a College course with a grade of "W" (unless the
student is withdrawn from the course by the College for
absenteeism — in which case the student will receive a
grade of "WF").
If a student withdraws from a course after the tenth
week (or equivalent), the instructor, with the approval of
the appropriate Division Director, will award a grade of
"WP" or "WF." No credit is given for a "WP" grade. A
"WF" grade affects the student's grade point average in
the same manner as an "F". If a student stops attending
a class without officially withdrawing from the course,
the student will receive a grade of "WF" or "F."
Students may withdraw from courses until the last day
of classes.
Students must complete and submit a "Student Status
Change" form to withdraw from a course.
College Initiated Termination — When an instructor
determines that a student is not adequately meeting
course objectives and has missed more than the
equivalent of the class hours in one week of instruction,

you will show courtesy and respect for the
administrative officers, faculty, and employees in your
personal contacts. You must also understand and accept
the necessity for various College regulations and comply
with the directives of those authorized to enforce the
regulations. If you conduct yourself in a manner contrary
to the best interests of the College you will be subject to

judicial procedures is available in the Student Handbook.
All students are expected to read and follow the policies
in the handbook.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
A student may be suspended or dismissed for improper
conduct, failure to comply with College regulations,
academic dishonesty, habitual absences, lack of effort
and interest, possession of, or being under the influence
of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs, or under other
circumstances as determined by the Board of Trustees.
In all cases where academic dishonesty is established,
the student may be dropped from the course with a
grade of "F". For a second offense, the student may be
dismissed from the College. In a case involving a
question of academic dishonesty, the professor in whose
class the incident is alleged to have occurred will consult
with the appropriate Division Director regarding
disciplinary action.
Attendance Policy
1. Regular and prompt attendance at all classes and at
scheduled conferences with instructors is expected of
all students. All work missed because of absence,
regardless of the cause, must be made up to the
satisfaction of the instructor. Students who know that
they will be absent are expected to get assignments
from instructors in advance so that the necessary
work will be completed before the student leaves, or
immediately upon his/her return. This applies to
absences for College activity trips as well as absences
for other reasons. In all cases of anticipated absence,
students should confer with their instructors in
advance whenever possible.
2. All faculty are required to record attendance daily.
3. When a student, in the instructor's judgment, is not
adequately meeting the course objectives and has
missed more than the equivalent of the class hours
held in one week of instruction, the instructor MAY
recommend the student be withdrawn from class by
the College.
If, in the judgment of the instructor, extenuating
circumstances are involved (e.g., a death in the
family, hospitalization, illness, or serious accident), the
following alternatives are available to the student.
a. To arrange with the instructor's approval a stated
plan for meeting course objectives and
responsibilities. If completion of the approved plan
extends beyond the semester, the student can
receive an "I" grade (Incomplete).
b. Until the end of the tenth week, or equivalent, of
each term, the student can withdraw and receive a
"W" grade (Withdrawn).
@
4. Based upon the instructor's recommendation, a
decision to withdraw a student from a course MAY be
made by the appropriate Division Director. Withdrawal
from a course by the College for excessive absences
will only be done after the first three weeks of each
term or 20 percent of instruction and will be recorded
on the student's transcript as a "WF" (Withdrawn
Failing).
5. Appeal Process: Students who are withdrawn from a
course by the College may appeal the decision within
three school days of notification.
The student may appeal the decision to either the
Dean of Academic Affairs OR the Ad Hoc Academic
Policy Group consisting of the Dean of Academic
Affairs, President of the Student Government
Association, and Chairperson of the Academic
Standards and Policy Committee.
Academic Probation
Any degree or certificate candidate whose cumulative
grade point average is below 2.00 will be placed on
academic probation. A student on probation may be
required to report to the Advisement and Career
Services Center for special counseling before registering
for classes the following semester.
A student may be terminated from the College if his/her
cumulative grade point average is under 1.50 at the end
of the first semester's work, under 1 .80 at the end of the
second semester's work, or under 1.90 at the end of the
third semester of work. (A semester's work is generally
defined as: 1) the courses listed for a semester in a
given program, or 2) 15 credits of course work.) The
Probation Committee will determine the semester status
in special situations.
The Probation Committee meets at the end of each
term. The Committee determines the conditions under
which students with grade point averages below 2.00
will be permitted to continue at the College. The
Committee may also terminate students. Students who
are terminated may appeal the action to the Chairperson
of the Probation Committee or his/her designee.
Final Examinations
Final examinations may be scheduled by instructors at
the end of each semester. A student who is absent from
a final examination without good reason is subject to a
failing grade.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Developmental Studies Program
The open admissions policy of The Williamsport Area
Community College permits most students to enroll in
the programs of their choice. However, all entering
students must exhibit competencies in the basic skills
(reading, mathematics, and written expression)
necessary for success in their programs. Students who
have not demonstrated these skills on the college
placement tests must take specific developmental
courses before enrolling in other math and English
courses required for a degree or certificate from The
Williamsport Area Community College.
The College will award institutional credit for
developmental studies courses (courses numbered
001-099) and the grades earned in those courses will be
included in the student's grade point average. Three
developmental courses — RDG 111, CHD 100, and CHD
101— carry elective credit and may be used to fulfill a
general elective requirement. Developmental courses
with institutional credit may not replace any course
requirement or elective.
The Developmental Studies program is designed to serve
a variety of students:
— those who lack academic skills and requirements for
the curriculum of their choice
—the "non-traditional" student
— unemployed adults
— adults returning to school after a number of years of
absence
— high school dropouts
— veterans
— those students referred to the program by instructors
who recognize a need for one or more of the
program's services
— those who require assistance and solicit the program
services on a "walk-in" basis.
The program consists of courses in math, reading,
English, personal development and decision-making.
Students may enter the entire program or part of it as
the result of counseling, placement tests, academic
record, or personal choice. While in the program, most
students will also take courses in their curriculum. One
strength of the program is the frequent contact with
staff who assist the student with course selection,
problem solving, decision making, career planning.
Classwork is designed to promote a successful teaching-
learning atmosphere. Varied learning strategies,
individualized and self-paced instruction, small group
sessions, tutorial and media support are characteristic of
the course work.
College Opportunity Programming
(COPing)
This program, funded under the Equal Education
Opportunity legislation, Act 101, serves students who
are academically and financially disadvantaged. COPing
students are chosen on the basis of their academic
potential, motivation and aspirations. Students receive
counseling and tutoring assistance as part of the COPing
program.
The COPing Program also includes a four-week summer
orientation. Students are in classes for two weeks,
studying reading, math and English, and in shops and
labs for two weeks, acquiring "hands-on" experience.
During the four-week program, students learn about the
campus, the College, the staff, the faculty, and each
other. This pre-college session makes the first semester
easier and more meaningful for students.

Studies Program or College Opportunity Programming,

CENTER FOR
LIFELONG
EDUCATION
The Center for Lifelong Education provides a variety of
educational opportunities and services that complement
the College's traditional degree and certificate
programming.
Designed primarily to meet the educational needs of
adults, the Center for Lifelong Education offers hundreds
of vocational, avocational, and personal enrichment
courses throughout the year. These courses are taught
on the College's central campus in Williamsport as well
as at satellite locations throughout the College's service
area.
Most of the courses offered through the Center for
Lifelong Education are non-credit. They do not involve
formal testing, do not offer grades, and may not be
used to fulfill requirements in any of the College's credit
programs. They do offer students the opportunity to
learn new skills, upgrade existing capabilities, develop
increased knowledge, or participate in new experiences
or activities.
(§)
Specialized courses are also available through the
Center. Specific courses can be custom-designed to
meet the training needs of individual businesses and
industries. Continuing professional education courses are
offered for those who require such courses in order to
maintain licensure or certification. Trips and a variety of
outdoor experiences are available through the
Wilderness Adventure Program. The educational needs
of senior citizens are met through participation in
ELDERHOSTEL and the development of special courses
and programs. Community service workshops and
forums are also presented when there is a need to
address specific topics which interest the residents in the
College's service area.
The services available through the Center for Lifelong
Education reflect its commitment to adult students. The
Center is open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Friday
during the fall and spring semesters. The Center also
serves as a testing site for professional examinations.
All of the programs and services available through the
Center are financially self-sustaining. The Center does
not receive any financial support from the College's
sponsoring districts. Nevertheless, all courses and
services are modestly priced and are very competitive
with those offered by other institutions.
The primary goal of the Center for Lifelong Education is
to provide high quality, low cost educational
opportunities and services — in locations that are
accessible — at times that are convenient. For more
information or to discuss your educational needs, please
visit the Center for Lifelong Education in Room 102 of

SECONDARY
VOCATIONAL
PROGRAM
The Williamsport Area Community College is the only
community college in the state to offer secondary
vocational education. The College's Secondary
Vocational Program is a unique example of what school
districts and a community college can provide for their
students and their communities.
The Secondary Vocational Program at The Williamsport
Area Community College provides education and training
to high school students who want to prepare for
employment following graduation as well as those who
plan to pursue advanced education or training. High
school students enrolled in the program spend one-half
of the school year (on a nine-week alternating schedule)
at their home high schools where they complete the
academic courses required for high school graduation
and half the school year attending vocational/technical
classes at the College.
The Secondary Vocational Program offers a combination
of classroom work and practical experience. Students
work in the College's shops and labs to learn and
practice the skills they will need when they begin
working. Senior year students may gain additional
experience through participation in the cooperative
education program.
1 ^^
^
Graduates who want to continue their education at the
college-level in the same field of study may be granted
advanced placement credit for the skills and
competencies acquired in the program.
The College also provides a Senior Year Options
program for high school students. This program offers
qualifying students the opportunity to begin college-level
work in selected technical programs as high school
seniors.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE
College Philosophy
We believe in the dignity and worth of all individuals. We believe
learning is a lifelong process and that all individuals should have
opportunities for lifelong education. We believe education should help
individuals develop, to their maximum capacity, technical excellence,
occupational proficiency, and academic ability. We believe education
should also provide for personal enrichment. To prosper in a complex
and changing society, we believe individuals must learn to think
independently, value logical and tested conclusions, develop problem
solving abilities, and function effectively with other people. We believe
that competent performance contributes significantly to individual health
and happiness and benefits the organizations and communities in which
individuals work and live. We believe the College is an integral part of the
community it serves and must respond to identified needs and interests.
In delivering education services, we believe there is no substitute for the
pursuit of excellence.
College Mission
The Williamsport Area Community College is a public two-year
comprehensive community college with strong heritage and continuing
emphasis on vocational-technical skills and knowledge. The College
serves primarily the state-designated, 10-county Northcentral
Pennsylvania area. Because of the extensive commitment to hands-on
occupational programming, the College also serves as a regional,
national, and international resource.
The College seeks to implement its philosophy by providing:
•quality postsecondary occupational and transfer programs and
services for all those who can benefit, including those who have
previously discontinued their formal education;
•quality vocational-technical programs and services for area secondary
students;
•accessible full and part-time educational opportunities and services
which address a wide spectrum of individual needs and abilities
through varied formats, schedules, geographic locations, and short-
term courses;
•educational programming related to economic and employment
realities;
•additional and enriched career options through cooperation with
industry, business, professions, government, and other educational
institutions;
•comprehensive programs which integrate communications, math,
science, humanities, interpersonal skills, reasoning, and physical
health and safety;
•opportunity to develop skills needed to enter and succeed in
programs;
•continuing opportunities to extend and upgrade skills, knowledge, and
interests;
•support for informed decisions using knowledge of abilities, interests,
and values realized through testing, evaluation and counseling, as
well as instruction;
•opportunities to develop personal, social, and cultural dimensions.
The College affirms that excellence in instruction at reasonable student
cost is its highest priority. The College is accountable for its mission
within the limitations of its physical and financial resources.
